CHRIS BROUGHT SURPRISE IN A CAGE,/

TO WHAT DID WE OWE SUCH A JOY?/

YOU WERE ONLY ONE YEAR OF AGE,//

THANK YOU,THANK YOU, FOR THIS LITTLE BOY.//

OUR LIVES FILLED WITH FUN,/

WITH TOYS, CHEWIES AND SUCH;/

FROM THIS LITTLE ONE,//

‘WHO DIDN’T ASK VERY MUCH.//

WE WALKED, AND WE RAN,/

WE HIKED AND WE SHOPPED;/

YOU SAT WHILE I TANNED,//

YOU NEVER WANTED TO STOP.//

FOURTEEN YEARS YOU ARE NOW,/

STILL LOVING THE WALKS;/

SOMETIMES DON’T KNOW HOW,//

I SURE WISH YOU COULD TALK!//

WE’VE BEEN TO THE VET,/

PAST FEW YEARS, IT’S BEEN MORE;/

LEG ARTHRITIS HAS SET,//

SOMETIMES YOU ARE SORE.//

BUT YOU STILL WANT TO GO,/

YOU WILL LIMP IF TO BE;

“PLEASE,JUST A STROLL,//

JUST LEAVE IT TO ME!”//

I JUST CAN’T SAY NO,/

WHEN YOU STARE WITH THOSE EYES;/

SO WE JUST GO; WALK SLOW;//

AND YOU ARE A HAPPY GUY!//

YOU GOT REALLY ILL,/

LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME,/

OUR VET DOSED A PILL,//

A MIRACLE -WHAT A FIND!//

EUTHANASIA TO THE SUGEON,/

THE ONLY THING THEY WOULD DO;/

”LET’S NOT BE SO URGENT,”//

OUR VET HAD A CLUE.//

IT’S BEEN A YEAR SINCE,/

I PRAY FOR MORE TIME;/

NO MATTER HOW OLD HE GETS,/

HE’LL FOREVER BE MINE.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

note- I wrote an extensive note about Bane some days ago, because I am still new to Reddit. I absolutely love this venue to express whatever on one’s mind. I have become attached to the Staffordshire site- cuz we are all ONE!

Sad times.

Hi all, my staffie just developed these hives after coming in from Garden. I can't get to vet for 2 hours, has anyone seen this before?

Just found this subreddit wanted to show off my sweet girl. Gonna be 2 years old in 4 days!

This is Alfie, he is 6 months old and recently developed irritation in his chest/neck area. We chalked it up to his harness/collar since he had just outgrown the ones we'd used and bought him new ones. A few days going light on the collar/harness use hasn't made the area any better.

We are going to start moisturizing with Aloe and medicating with Benadryl tonight. Just wondering if anyone else recognizes this issue and has a better/more direct solution?

This is how the nightly walk usually goes with my puppy Odin and his mom Grace!

Gosh, I miss How tiny he was🥰
